The Facts:
Young hasn't generated much interest as a free agent, but that hasn't shaken his belief that he is still capable of being a starting QB in the NFL. "Yeah definitely. Always want to go in and compete for the starting job and the things that I put myself through to get better and better and to better myself as a quarterback," Young told KILT Radio in Houston. "Just waiting on that opportunity to get the chance to do that."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Young started three games for the Eagles in 2011 and lost two of them. He threw eight interceptions and four touchdowns in those games, including four picks in a blowout loss to the Seahawks that helped keep the Eagles out of the playoffs when the season came to an end. He did beat the Giants, though, and said that HC Andy Reid told him the Eagles weren't bringing him back because they didn't think he was a backup QB -- undoubtedly lending further credence to Young's view of his ability. And as PFT's Josh Alper suggests, it would be odd to hear a QB say that he didn't think he was capable of leading a team as a starter, so Young's answer makes sense on that front. But as Alper pointed out, the problem is that no NFL team shares his feelings and that's the only league with a Super Bowl. ... Stay tuned. Young expressed some interest in playing for the Texans, but his chances of starting there seem minimal at best.
